Formação docente e geografia escolar: um estudo de caso entre Brasil e Espanha

O livro de João Pedro Pezzato discute a atual organização curricular dos cursos de formação de professores de Geografia, comparando com viés crítico as experiências da Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, da Espanha, e do Curso de Licenciatura em Geografia da Unesp de Rio Claro, interior de São Paulo. Para Pezzato, enquanto na Espanha todas as disciplinas estão relacionadas com os conhecimentos específicos da área, percebe-se no Brasil o predomínio de um modelo conceitual no qual os conteúdos pedagógicos de algumas disciplinas não têm nenhuma articulação com a própria Geografia. O resultado é, muitas vezes, o divórcio entre a componente científica específica e aquela mais diretamente relacionada com as questões educativas. O pesquisador chama a atenção ainda para a falta de articulação entre pesquisa e ensino, e para a rala distinção, no Brasil, entre a formação de bacharéis e de licenciados em Geografia, já que não existem diferenças significativas entre os componentes curriculares das duas modalidades. Por isso, para ele é premente a adoção de inovações curriculares no ensino da Geografia, inclusive no que diz respeito ao ensino da leitura e da escrita no contexto da disciplina.

A evasão escolar na educação tecnológica: o embate entre percepções subjetivas e objetivas

Edson Detregiachi Filho busca, nesta obra, identificar e compreender as razões do altíssimo índice de evasão escolar nos cursos de educação tecnológica da rede pública, que alcança 50%, e contribuir para a formulação de políticas que possam melhorar esse cenário. O livro resulta de um trabalho de campo realizado pelo autor na Faculdade de Tecnologia de Garça, uma das mais importantes da rede de faculdades estaduais de tecnologia (Fatec). Por meio, principalmente, de questionários aplicados aos alunos e depoimentos da direção, o autor levanta as principais dificuldades que os estudantes encontram ao iniciar o curso, além de sugestões que facilitariam sua permanência na escola. Também verifica como o corpo diretor percebe o problema da evasão. A hipótese defendida é que, apesar da ideologia dominante instilar conceitos com o objetivo de forjar subjetividades apontando para a necessidade e a importância da educação profissional, os alunos se deparam com dificuldades de ordem estrutural do sistema, além das dificuldades históricas inerentes à educação profissional no país. Para o autor, o embate entre as condições subjetivas a que são conduzidos os alunos e as condições objetivas com as quais eles se defrontam, fruto das contradições do sistema social, é o principal gerador das reações que conduzem à evasão escolar.

Projeto colaborativo em ambientes digitais de atividades de aprendizagem e avaliação para aquisição de competências em informação e documentação

The search for international impact and the need to create formal or informal networks of academic cooperation are some of the most common features of the current training offered by many universities. Aware of this difficulty and the desirability of creating synergies to enrich teaching and academic collaboration networks between universities, an experience is presented, in the context of the teaching of Information and Documentation, of inter-university collaboration for the joint design of learning activities and skills assessment, developed by teachers in the public universities of Zaragoza and Salamanca (Spain) and the São Paulo Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho (São Paulo, Brazil). The experience is developed using models that facilitate the structuring of learning activities aimed at the acquisition of common skills. Each activity that is proposed and developed is recorded in a spreadsheet which collects the information arranged in various fields such as: description, skills, objectives, expected learning outcomes, tools, required resources and materials, evaluation criteria, amongst others, so that the student can see what he is asked to do, how to do it and how useful it will be. This way of designing skills-based learning activities is possible, in geographically diverse academic settings through the use of Information Technology and Communication, enabling both remote cooperation between teachers and also materials offered on the platforms of each of the universities.

Formação do professor para trabalhar com recursos de tecnologia assistiva: um estudo de caso em Mato Grosso

Due to the process of educational inclusion, it is necessary for the teacher who works with disabled students to acknowledge and master the resources of assistive technology equipment available in Brazil. The objective was to identify the presence of these resources at school and evaluate, having the teacher as the evaluator, the conditions of dealing with the Assistive Technology resources and equipment. The sample consisted of 14 teachers who work in the Resources Multifunction Classroom and 18 regular classroom teachers who have disabled students enrolled in their classrooms. Data collection was performed through the TAE Questionnaire - Assistive Technology for Education. The data collection was performance in groups during the training course sponsored by the Education Department of Rondonópolis as part of the Program of Continuing Education Training for Managers and Educators - Inclusive Education: The Right to Diversity. The questionnaire data indicated differences between the two groups mentioned. The teachers of the Resource Classes indicated that Assistive Technology resources are now being introducing at schools and that over 50% of this group understand the resources presented on the questionnaire. Most of the regular classroom teachers is still unaware of the Assistive Technology resources and equipment. Regarding the dealing of these resources the group of teachers from the multifunctional classroom is better prepared to use this technology. The data suggest the need for investment in acquisition and training of teachers in relation to Assistive Technology resources.

Cursos superiores de tecnologia: igualdade jurídica e dualidade na escola

Since the 1990s, higher education technology courses in Brazil have greatly expanded the offer of courses and places. However, the high dropout rates presented in these courses led to a research in order to uncover the factors that lead students to dropout. Through literature review and desk research, this study makes a historical analysis of how professional education is conducted in Brazil. This paper seeks to demonstrate that the implementation of public policies for professional education exacerbates the school’s duality. However, such duality generates contradictions between subjective and objective issues produced by the ideology disseminated by public policies and government actions in relation to vocational education. These contradictions end up unveiling the social inferiority of vocational education and discourage students from remaining in the courses. The legal equality between educational levels seeks to mediate the emergence of these contradictions. However, despite legal equality, social equality is not achieved in the implementation of public policies, leading to a high dropout rate.

As linguagens documentais para as bibliotecas escolares: o caso da Espanha, Portugal e Brasil

This article analyzes the specific features and processes of indexing and classification performed in school libraries to process and retrieve information from their collections. Subject languages used in Spanish, Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese school libraries are also analyzed. To achieve this goal, the concept of school library was analyzed, its function was studied and the techniques and tools that allow the information organization were examined. Among the tools, we studied the Subject Headings Lists for children and juveniles’ books and the Subject Headings List for public libraries, the Universal Decimal Classification System (paperback edition) or the classification by fields of interest and specialized thesauri like the Tesauro de la Educación UNESCO-OIE and the TesauroEuropeo de la Educación.

Recursos de Alta-Tecnologia Assistiva Disponíveis no Mercado Nacional:ferramentas para alunos com paralisia cerebral

In Brazil, the interest on the applicability of assistive technology resources in the school environment has grown for children with cerebral palsy, according to the evidences on the diffi culties in their process of scholarization. The objective of the project was the construction of a data base about the resources of high assistive technology in the national market, indicated for the use in the classroom environment for children with cerebral palsy, with the purpose to systemize information, to assist in the selection, prescription and implementation of this type of resource. From a search in the literature available in existing national sites, a computerized archive on the availability of these resources was constructed, having as parameters the applied methodology already used in previous study. Therefore, information on adapted resources had been systemized, constituting an accessible source of data to all the interested parties, aiming to contribute for a effective implementation of these resources in the promotion of the scholarization of children with cerebral palsy in the country.

Formação do professor para o uso de tecnologia assistiva

The specialized teachers' training to work in multifunctional resource classrooms still has to reach a satisfactory level. These teachers are expected to keep a set of resources and devices used to teach a wide range of students with different disabilities. That fact leads to reflection by the academic community. Thus what specific content should such training address? This paper aims to analyze the set of resources and equipment in a classroom and infer the teaching knowledge underlying their use. The analysis was conducted by classifying 63 resources and equipment items, which led to three categories: 1) set of materials that do not require academic knowledge; 2) set of materials that require academic knowledge related to any training course for teachers; 3) set of materials that require specific academic knowledge on working with students with disabilities. It concluded that around 36% of the resources do not require academic knowledge to be used; 35% of these resources and equipment require some academic knowledge to be properly handled, and around 29% of these resources and equipment require specific academic knowledge of their content. For instance, a specific training of those resources is necessary for acting with students with severe communication disorders, multiple disabilities and visual impairment or deafness.
